Sussex Clampdown on FGM

Police are hoping to identify victims of female genital mutilation by raising awareness of the practice.

Along with the Border Force, Sussex Police will speak to passengers from countries where FGM is an issue over the summer holidays to see if medical attention is needed and to prosecute offenders.

Intelligence suggests that girls most at risk of FGM are taken back to their home country at the beginning of school holidays – this way their wounds heal before they return to the UK.

Council Money Saved

Sharing buildings with other organisations has saved Surrey taxpayers around seven hundred thousand pounds in the last year.

County council staff share offices across Surrey with hundreds of employees from other public services, including around seven hundred in offices owned by borough and district councils.

The money saved from rent, heating and repairs is enough to pay for 70 school places over a year.

Surrey county council cabinet associate, Tony Samuels has said the saving will be put back into the “front line”, including schools and elderly care.
